Integrated systems for passenger bus

A control module for a passenger bus, the passenger bus comprising:

• a body supported by a frame and housing a plurality of passenger seats;
• at least one passenger access door configured to enable passenger access through at least one side of the body;
• and
• a plurality of vehicle exterior condition sensors, the plurality of vehicle exterior condition sensors comprising:
• at least one passenger presence detector;
• at least one vehicle navigation sensor;
• at least one steering controller;
• at least one speed controller;
• at least one extensible suspension controller;
• and
• at least one passenger access door controller;
• wherein the control module comprises at least one controller configured to:
• receive from the at least one vehicle navigation sensor signals indicating at least a position and orientation of the passenger bus, and a speed at which the passenger bus is moving;
• receive from the at least one passenger presence detector signals indicating the presence of a passenger;
• generate, based at least on the signals indicating a position, orientation, and speed of the passenger bus, signals adapted for causing some or all of the steering controller and the speed controller to navigate the passenger bus to a desired location relative to a passenger loading facility and place the passenger bus in a stopped passenger loading condition;
• route the signals for navigating the passenger bus to some or all of the speed controller and the steering controller;
• and
• when the bus is in a stopped passenger loading condition, route to the at least one passenger access door controller signals adapted to cause the passenger access door controller to open the passenger access door.
